Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Sony are human and make mistakes like everyone else.

I'm not denying that, at all, but when you fuck up as much as Sony have fucked up, you deserve to get called a bunch of idiots.

Quote from 91mason91 :

But no matter what they do with the body there will be ALOT of pissed off followers that will seek revenge and I don't think burying Osama in accordance with his faith will make them think otherwise.

Of course not, but by burying him in accordance with the Quran it's stopped a massive shitstorm from all Muslims, not just the fanatical idiots.

Quote from funRacer[83] :

nah I can read you just gave me the wrong hint.. A link to this -> http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/1466964.page would have helped me more.

There I can see that if I have class B and SR of 4 I can race the F1 Race from class A. So racing the higher A class is also enough to get my needed 2 races for class B to level up to A. Luckily I have already the FW31, to bad just like in LFS the interest in the Formula 1 car dropped very fast (Formula Fun). I hope at least in class A are enough people racing the F1.

It's explained perfectly in the Sporting Code, which is what I told you to read. Just because you're a fucking idiot and can't read the Sporting Code, doesn't mean I should spend my time searching the forums for you.

The body was thrown off a boat 12 hours after he was shot in the forehead. 12 hours is plenty of time to use facial recognition software and perform DNA tests to confirm it's really him.

Anyway, pretty cool photo of Obama and co watching the operation live:

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

"Countires"? Looks legit.

They're handouts from the Sony press conference thing that went on yesterday, it's legit. Big companies can make mistakes, you know, like losing millions of peoples personal data. A typing mistake isn't outrageous compared to that.

Sony are ****ing idiots.

Quote from UncleBenny :

Does the high line really work now? If so that's amazing.

Yeah, it's immense. I've been racing at Bristol and Michigan in the trucks all week, the high line is easily the fastest way around Michigan, and the high line at Bristol works great for overtaking. It's really given oval racing a new bit of life. Homestead in the Indycar is brilliant aswell, can actually overtake on the outside, which never ever used to happen before.

Obviously there are still tracks where the high line doesn't work, just like there are tracks in RL where it doesn't work, but it is working great at places where it should.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Woo, US people all over the place in this thread... oh wait.

4 heli's were flown in, only 3 left. One was apparantly "destroyed". No US ops were injured during it all. The 4th heli apparantly had a flight control problem. Interesting.

Also, is it Usama or Osama? Because I only see Usama on the news.

There isn't an actual translation into English from the Arabic name, so some say Usama, or Osama, Usammah, Bin Laden, Bin Ladin etc...

Only if you let your account lapse. My account runs out today, so I'm going to wait until it cuts out and then try and use a similar code that I got through.

Quick game mod.

Look among the invited guests and try this fun game.

Play - Spot the Darkie.

Bonus points if you can find more than 20 brown faces who aren't dictators (or associated family) who murder their people to stay in power and are supported by Britain.



They only like darkies if they are useful !

Oil's good .....................

Or lots of money for weapons systems.

I bet you're gutted that your anti-semite idol was shot in the forehead?

I know what you mean Jason, even though 2.0 isn't out until August. Basically, through an absolute fluke the sim has been improved massively by accident. They were developing new telemetry, which started showing odd results, so they slightly re-worked the laser scan data, which gave us fantastic feeling road cars and a high line on the ovals!

Your SR goes down, but not any massive amount, it more than evens out if you're a decent driver. In Rookie there are obviously more crashes, because it's rookie, and the goal is to not give a **** about results and simply concentrate on SR, as the standard of driving improves dramatically after you get out.

After that, obviously people crash, but as the races get longer it gets harder and harder to lose SR. You can do a 30 lap F1 race at Road America, getting 12 incs (3 seperate crashes) and still gain SR.

It's nowhere near as bad as some make out. Of course, it's a no fault system which has it's drawbacks, but it's not really a problem. Now I'm Class A I don't even think about SR, I don't crash obviously because I would be out of the race, but if I drop a couple of tyres off and get a few 1x penalties while I'm chasing someone down, then that's fine and more than worth it.

Quote from The Moose :

I admire your persistence

It's running out fast .

Seems like you are incapable of reading, so I'll explain it to you.

Start at Rookie, get up to SR 4.0 and you get promoted to Class D. Still driving the Rookie cars, get SR to 4.0 again, then drive 4 Class C races, which gets you promoted to class C. Get SR up to 4.0, get promoted to Class B. Get SR up to 4.0 again, drive 4 races in FW31, get A class license.

Splits are done by iRating, generally higher irating drivers are safer drivers. I've had plenty of good Late Model races by getting into the top split.

Resources - Sporting Code.

Quote from funRacer[83] :

I have already D and I think I also needed to buy an D car so the system allows me to level up to C (needed two races in D), don´t I need a car for B to level up to A?

No. Try reading how it works before you start moaning about it.

Quote from funRacer[83] :

The problem is I a am mature, so childish talk don´t work on me.

well it´s not bad, I like the accurate and real tracks, and the gfx are a little bit better then LFS (at least the cars). But the business model is really bad. If I could level up without buying cars and tracks I don´t like I would have already leveld up. But now I am just unsure if it pays off. So could be that we never see eatch other in iRacing.

But even if we would see each other on the track I am insulting people that behave like idiots crash me or just repeat the same shit over and over again without even understanding that it doesn´t make sense what they write after reading what I have written. But on track I am a fair driver as long as you don´t crash me on purpose..

You can get to Class D without buying any cars, and you can get to class A by buying a Class C car and a Class A car and maybe 1 or 2 tracks. Not exactly very hard.

The SR works, if you can't even get out of Rookie, where it's hilariously easy to gain SR, you have no chance at higher levels unless you improve drastically.

Quote from anttt69 :

Ironically, the SR system that you are discussing is actually quite narrow minded & short sighted. It chooses to be "dumb" when it could quite easily be intelligent.
I believe that there is no need to punish everyone involved in an accident just because the devs are to lazy/scared to add some code that assigns or absolves blame.
Some simple algorithms have already been discussed (that work in theory) but it seems that for the moment, iRacing have chosen not to go down that path. I sincerely hope that the SR system does get developed, as it really takes something away from the casual sim racer (it puts people off iRacing & is quite enraging).
The SR system has so much room for improvement, it would be "stupid" not to.


p.s.- Quali sessions yield greater rewards than TT's.

So, if you're so smart, how do you suggest a fault system? You only get it if you hit someone from behind? What happens when someone brake checks, or spins out? Or you only give a penalty to people who caused an accident, because that's easy, right? Humans constantly disagree about who caused an accident, so how do you expect a computer to do it?

SR as it is is fine just now. If you're constantly involved in wrecks that you think aren't your fault, then you really should look at your own driving. Of course people are going to get the odd 4x for getting involved in someone elses crash, but if you are a clean safe driver it more than evens out.

Just for the record, I am not a clean safe driver, I take more risks than I should because I think winning a race is far more important than gaining some SR. Once you're in Class A and running longer races, you can get 10 - 12 incidents in a F1 race and still gain SR. The only part of the SR system I don't agree with is the off-tracks, I think you should have 4 wheels off the track before you get the penalty, but a 1x penalty is so irrelevant it's not really a problem.

Donington is a bit dodgy, just looks like a straight convert out of GTL or something. Also, when making a video, it helps if the person driving isn't shite.

Too many people who apparently don't give a **** are really trying very hard to let people know they don't give a ****, which seems strange.

It's cool sometimes to put an LFS name to an iRacing name, I was in a server with you last night moaning about the pit speed limiter I'l have to play some more and see if I get a similar issue, I haven't reallly been paying much attention to FPS but I'l do a few laps and have a look.


Also, it seems that you can run a little bit of Javascript on the car number select page and make it accept 3 numbers, anyone got a clue with Javascript? Everyone is obviously a little cagey to post it in the iracing forums.

7 is the date which I was born, which is why I automatically pick it out of 10.

Quote from Joe93 :

Everyones hating on PSN... it could honestly happen to any company... it has most likely happened to xbox before, but the simple fact that a single thing like that would send so many customers away xbox never let on about it and dusted it under the carpet. PSN have had the balls to put there hands up and say ok guys we made a mistake were sorry... they have provided support telling us how to be extra vigilant of fraud on your bank accounts.. it aint like they have went haha we failed screw guys.

I wont be moving to xbox anytime soon purely for the fact that xbox charges you for online, yeah the servers on PS3 are a bit worse but most of the time you never actually notice it.

Some sources are saying that the details began to be leaked in February, and PSN has been down for over a week before they bother to tell everyone there details are out in the open.

Anyway, what kind of company leaves all of those details completely unencrypted?
